H-E-B Elevates Commitment to Bellaire Customers
H-E-B Elevates Commitment to Bellaire Customers

H-E-B’s reinvestment in the Bellaire community has gone vertical. H-E-B Bellaire Market, the retailer’s first Houston-area multi-level store located at 5106 Bissonnet Street, will open Wednesday, June 27 at 6 a.m. where one of its original H-E-B Pantry stores once stood. The brand new, 78,000 sq.-ft. store more than doubles the size of the original location and features two levels of shopping options, expanded and covered parking in the first-floor garage, and is equipped with elevators and escalators to easily navigate between the store and garage.

“We have been a part of the Bellaire community for more than 24 years and are committed to our loyal customer following,” said Armando Perez, Senior Vice President, H-E-B Houston. “While the Bellaire store will offer an enhanced in-store experience with the highest standard of service and selection, we are also always looking for ways to be innovative and connect with our customers on a new level.”

THIS STORE HAS MORE – AN ARTFUL EXPERIENCE

“H-E-B has succeeded with innovative shopping and progressive in-store experiences for years and we felt it was time to take it up a notch,” said Perez. H-E-B Bellaire Market will kick-off the company’s arts initiative with a permanent interactive light installation called Blue by You, by Texas artist Ansen Seale. As shoppers move in the space, the piece – composed of acrylic, LED lights and aluminum – responds by changing color, leaving a trail behind the moving person. “My intention is the viewer becomes the creator, riding a self-generated wave of color to and from an everyday experience,” said Seale. Moving forward in all Houston multi-level stores, the company will commission an artist to create a custom, site-specific installation, adding an engaging element to each neighborhood’s H-E-B.

ENGAGING FOOD CONVENIENCES

Each customer’s priority is our priority, allowing you to shop any way you want. Whether it’s an in-store experience, ordering online and picking up, or grabbing a meal on the go – H-E-B Bellaire Market has it all.

H-E-B Bellaire Market will offer the full line of its popular H-E-B Meal Simple heat and eat options. Created with the highest quality ingredients, these family favorites are fresh, convenient and easy for streamlining a home-cooked meal. With more than 200 options that range from Chicken Tortilla Soup and Simple Garlic Pesto Atlantic Salmon with Asparagus, to the Beef and Broccoli with Jasmine Rice Meal Kit, each dish is packed with flavor and can be ready in minutes.

THE LOCAL RESOURCE FOR HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES

“We have updated and upgraded the store, but we are still committed to providing healthy food choices, specialty items tailored to Bellaire’s needs and the extraordinary customer service that you have come to expect,” added Hugh Sintic, H-E-B Bellaire Market General Manager.

In addition to an unrivaled selection of Kosher items – from fresh meats to dry goods, as well as dairy and pareve breads – H-E-B Bellaire Market will serve as a quality living source that supports healthy eating on a budget. The store will feature hundreds of H-E-B Organics options and its new H-E-B Select Ingredients, a line consisting of H-E-B brand products that excludes unwanted ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors.
